TTC After a Loss

GTKY: When watching TV with DH/SO...

Do you sit on the same couch opposite sides, same couch and snuggle, separate couches, different rooms?

We do separate couches.  He lays on the big couch and I relcine on the small couch.

Re: GTKY: When watching TV with DH/SO...

  • Mostly separate couches. I call shotgun on the big couch and he either lays on the floor or sits on the love seat with the ottoman. Some times he will sit at the end of the couch and rub my feet, but usually it's only if I ask.

  • We're all over the place, depending on the day and our moods. Sometimes we snuggle, sometimes we sit a mile apart!

  • If we're watching something together we are on the same couch snuggling.

  • We usually sit on separate couches, they are the same size and in L shape so we both sit on the ends closest to each other. If we are watching a movie or something we usually snuggle on his couch (we joke about having his and hers)

  • We have a big "L" shaped couch so we're technically on the same couch.  If we're on our laptops or multitasking while watching then we're in our own spaces, but if we're just watching TV a movie then it's cuddle time :)

  • It really varies with us. Most of the time we are on the same couch, sometimes on different ones, and occassionally we cuddle on the larger couch.

  • It used to be that I sat on the recliner and he sat on the reclining sofa, but as figured out that the recliner was making my back problems worse so we switched. We rarely sit on the same couch together.

  • DH insists on snuggling.

    I also lay on the comfy soft couch, which is smaller but deep. The other couch is longer but shallower, and too firm to really watch tv on. It's basically the dogs couch. Someday I'm going to but my dream couch which is Just Right for snuggling for all

  • If we are watching together (mostly on weekends) same couch, opposite ends, or in bed.  During the week, I work days, he works nights, so he ususally rests in the basement on the futon watching sports.  I watch in the living room lounging on the couch or upstairs in the bedroom while bumping.

  • Most of the time we watch TV upstairs and all we have is a loveseat so we either sit side by side or snuggle. On rare occasions we watch TV downstairs where we have one recliner and two papasan chairs.

  • Same couch, different sides.  I always take the right (with the end table) so I can work on my laptop.  He typically takes the left and the dogs will cuddle in the middle cushion.  I'm definitely not a couch cuddlier...I think it's because our couch isn't long or deep enough!
